A refreshing tropical drink combining the flavors of pineapple, mint, and tea, perfect for a hot day.
Steep the tea bags in boiling water for about 5 minutes.
Use a timer to ensure the tea doesn't over-steep and become bitter.
Remove the tea bags and stir in the sugar until dissolved.
Adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more or less sugar.
Add the mint sprigs to the tea and let it cool to room temperature.
Gently bruise the mint leaves to release their flavor before adding them.
Blend the pineapple with the iced water until smooth.
For a smoother juice, strain the blended pineapple mixture through a fine mesh strainer.
Combine the pineapple juice with the cooled tea and stir well.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or acidity as needed.
Squeeze in the juice of one lemon and stir.
Roll the lemon on the counter before cutting to extract more juice.
Refrigerate the mixture until chilled.
Serve over ice for an extra refreshing experience.
Serve the tea cooler in glasses, garnished with a mint sprig or pineapple wedge.
Use decorative glasses to enhance the presentation.
